... to be the most visually distinctive of these populations, but all four can be morphologically, synthetically and behaviourally distinguished from general interfollicular skin cells. The germinative population also most obviously exhibit many classical stem cell attributes, but the interactive and inductive...

...C.L. Wilson; T.-T. Sun; R.M. Lavker The slow-cycling cells in the bulge of the outer root sheath may represent stem cells for the hair follicle. With each new anagen (growing) phase bulge cells would give rise to a population of transient-amplifying cells which differentiate into outer root sheath...
